“B” Section

Perform the “A” section, do
the “B” section twice, and then return to the “A” section. During the P’s in
the “B” section, four children will say their names (one child per P) following
by the entire group saying all four names on the P’s in the same order (then
return to “A”). After all children have had a turn saying their name, perform
the “A” section one more time. You might have the children choose words to
replace “ready, set, here we go” to give more finality to the chant.
*A “rondo” is a musical form
with a reoccurring “A” section (ABACADA etc.)
Extension: Play a name-memory
game. Choose one student to be the leader or head of the circle and someone to
be at the end. Perform the “B” Section only. The leader begins with her/his own
name and then says someone else’s name on the next pat. That student then says
her/his own name on the next pat and someone else’s on the pat after that. When
someone “messes up” they move to the end of the circle and everyone “below”
them moves up one place.
